BLIS COAT [Bio-inert Low Ig-G Sensitive Coating]

BLIS COAT is an innovative coating technology designed to make tissue-implantable medical devices more biocompatible and tissue-friendly.

This advanced coating reduces immune responses such as IgG deposition, making it ideal for applications where prolonged tissue contact is required, such as urinary catheters and other medical implants.

A pioneering study on BLIS COAT was recently presented at the prestigious 44th Congress of the Société Internationale d'Urologie on 24th October 2024, in Delhi, India.

The research, demonstrated the effectiveness of BLIS COAT in a rabbit model of urethral stricture. The study revealed that BLIS COAT significantly reduced encrustation and IgG deposition on urinary catheters, showcasing its potential to improve patient outcomes by minimizing immune reactions and complications in implantable medical devices.
